Electrospinning – A Novel Approach to Developing Drug Delivery System

Abstract

Drug delivery system impacts the mode of administration, release properties, effectiveness, and safety of a medication. Due to some disadvantages of the traditional drug delivery systems, scientists are in search of innovative approaches, e.g., electrospinning, a nanofiber fabrication technique from polymers. Electrospinning allows the combination of drugs and materials of different properties to develop a unique drug delivery system that can implement the desired release properties dynamically resulting in greater specificity in terms of targeting and drug loading which can make a leap in individualized medicine. Thus, electrospinning has proven itself as an innovative and effective candidate to mitigate certain drawbacks of the traditional drug delivery system as well as explore many other outstanding possibilities. In this review, unique features of electrospun fibers for drug delivery, different methods of this technique, it’s various implications and future perspectives have been analyzed
